Plot Summary
This movie is the classic story of racism in a small fictional
town in the American South, based on the book of the same
title by Harper Lee. The story takes place in 1932, during the
great economic depression, in Macomb, Alabama. It is told
through the eyes of Scout Finch, an adorable six year old girl
who loves her father very much, and who observes the great
difficulties that he faces after he decides to defend a black
man, Tom Robinson, who is falsely accused of raping a poor
white teenage girl. In telling her story, she reveals much
about race, social class and the law in 1930s America.
ESL Notes
Some Words and Expressions that You may not Know
Scout and Jem meet Dill, and all three
learn of the mysteries of the Radley House.
Macomb was a tired old town in 1932.
The name of the small (fictional) Alabama town
and county where Atticus Finch and his family lived.
Men's stiff shirt collars wilted by 9AM and ladies bathed by noon.
"To wilt" is to become limp or to bend, often because of heat.
And by nightfall they were like soft teacakes
with frosting from sweating and sweet talcum.
"Frosting" is the sweet covering that is used on cakes. "Talcum"
is a type of powder people use to absorb sweat when its hot.
There was no money and nothing to buy...though Macomb County
